2013 Nissan Pathfinder: Everything You wanted to know about the new AWD system
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
( www.TFLcar.com ) The new 2013 Nissan Pathfinder has been called the Mallfinder by some off-road fans because the new Nissan Crossover is no longer a body on frame design. In this TFLcar video we show you how the new 2013 Pathfinder's new Terrain management system works. We also take the new Pathfinder off-road to see if is as off-road worthy as advertised. If you are thinking about purchasing the new 2013 Nissan Pathfinder this TFLcar video will tell you many of the key things that you may want to know before purchasing the car, or if you just love cars you'll like getting to know the new Pathfinder better.

Its officially "Mall-Finder" now!!!!
I love everything about this year’s pathfinder. Its fast, dexterous, spacious, comfortable and overall just a joy to own. The interior holds up and the tech is just enough that allows it to be just enough in today’s day and age
Presenter did a super job! :)
amen to that, looks amazing too
i recently got one and am loving it, very smooth and classy, the fuel economy is very good as well

The death of a great legend, the Nissan Pathfinder... RIP Pathfinder
What kind of camera was the guy @ 3:23 holding? and where can i get it? Please advise.... :)
Cool video.
This suits my kind of questions. Thanks for replies on the GMC Nathan. So here it's clearly a clutch that engages the rear driveshaft, and the engineer did't said that, so he was just a sales man. That AWD switch is taking the power away from the driver. When he selected 4x4 lock the switch actually remains in auto position, so the lock thing will go away at certain speed or after start, or after a few minutes.
this car is made for people as they really are, not for people as they like to imagine themselves. it has all the off-road capability 95% of its buyers will ever need. if you live in Siberia or Alaska, perhaps this car is not for you.

Unapologetic Geek so you said the Pathfinder is just made for posers, by posers?
you guys should do a trans mission battle in bad conditions. For example CVT vs Auto vs Manual to see which is the best in different conditions.
We bought the new 2013 Nissan Pathfinder in January/13. By now, the SUV broke down 4 times: transmission hose fell off (the car had to be towed), overdrive did not work from the beginning, front lights burnt out, trunk door rubbed paint off the car due to bad alignment. All of these are manufacturing defects. We highly recommend this vehicle if you like to drive dirty service cars or unsuccessfully deal with Nissan Customer Service.
I love body on frame SUV's like the 4Runner and the like, but times have changed. I need more space (because a body on frame usually has less interior height because of the structure) and lighter vehicle which means fuel savings (because of smaller engines). To those who say "soccer mom's SUV or Mallfinder" is hilarious. Remember, these vehicles are catered to those who can actually save up to buy a NEW car. Lol.
so its pretty much awd but can also be a 4x4 kinda thats awesome!!! I wanna see this vs. Subaru's awd
you needed awd for that?
@2:00 thanks for the clarification 👌
ok.how good is this 6x6 electronic rear tranfer case? give me the old front BIGASS DIFF with no worries!
2012 best model
Really hope in 2014 they give it maybe another 1 inch atleast to compete against other competitors. This is basically a minivan.
Nice Altima wagon.
i drove it a lovly car fast wid smooth smart
This was on my buy list, but the ground clearance was just too low, almost as low as my 2001 rav4. If only they raise it by 1inch or more it'll seem like an awesome pathfinder again.
How does the Nissan 4wd get power to the rear wheels? Is it a drive shaft, or electric motor?
Likely it's due to demand, a sudden change perhaps. Those who want more ground clearance will have to opt for a full-size SUV, or a pickup truck nowadays.
I'd be very curious to know what dealer you bought your Pathfinder from, in what state, what city, and what the VIN # of yours is. Because your Pathfinder experience seems very unique; I'd really like to see the documentation path, between you and the dealer. I bought a SL 4WD in February, have 3K miles on it, and everything is PERFECT. Hose didn't fall off, overdrive works perfectly, lights are bright and shiny, no paint rubbing anywhere. I am a very happy customer of Nissan's.

How’s the pathfinder now
هل يوجد حل للكبوت ولا لا
I would buy the older version of the Nissan Pathfinder instead.
That poor CVT just is screaming help.😭😭 3:24
I see this as a poor man's Infiniti JX35 (which the Nissan Mallf-- Pathfinder shares). This one as demonstrated has a more advanced all-wheel drive system. I think you can rough up somewhat more than the Infiniti (by the way, fully loaded it reaches near $60k); Fully loaded, Nissan will price it at around $43-46k. Correct me if I'm incorrect or I'll have to look at Nissan's site.
Phew, I no longer hate the Pathfinder since the Xterra and Armada are staying. However, I do miss the old Pathfinder. The new one has no soul... it is nice to ride in though.
why this years the SUV's height to the ground are so low than the old SUV's
Oh well at least this vehicle still has a lock mode. Most of the newer systems are becoming automatic and you cant even control it which sucks.
They should have left the old Pathfinder and called this one the Altima Sportback.
RIP...... PAthfinder
Station Utility Wagon? It's nice to have a vehicle with AWD, but I would guess this has a little more off road capability then a Ford Mustang.
I have always loved the Pathfinder, but I don't know how I feel about this redesign. I mean honestly, I'd rather have better MPG and on road manners and still be able to take it off the beaten path, but I like the body on frame trucks. And this design isn't wearing well with me.
X6 50i or X6M better
It looks like a minivan without slinding doors
You might as well turn it into a minivan with AWD. . Its nice but.... R.I.P. Truck framed Pathfinder. Just get the Xterra. I have one (2000) and its great.
I'll keep the old Pathfinder thanks. Better yet, bring the Nissan Patrol to the USA
No more 4x4's please enough is enough. It's been 2 weeks since you uploaded a decent car (M6)
I could almost call it the Altima or Maxima CUV.
So sad they transformed this iconic suv into a crossover
All new body style vehicles outsell the old one, that's as sure as the sun rising every morning.
I see this lands even sedan can driven in same land without any problem I thought I'm going to see really of road but its nothing no sand no snow its normal
I'd call it a road finder.
I didnt know you guys review mini vans
Ok, I'm liking the Toyota 4Runner MUCH better...still love my current Jeep XJ though
Why is it that more and more people when answering a question begin the answer with the word, "so"? It's actually quite annoying in my opinion. ..... I have always liked the Pathfinder though. Very nice SUV but if I was going off road it would be a Jeep Wrangler or a Nissan Xterra (Subaru Forester n a smaller scale as well).
What the hell! That's not a pathfinder! It's a mallfinder!

I totally hate what Nissan did with the pathfinder. I guess they're gonna make the x-terra become the new pathfinder, and make the pathfinder become a traverse and explorer rival
Oh! BTW, I watched the entire video, and all the "Off Road Test" (I think someone is trying to change the Off Road meaning), can be done in a FWD-Only Tucson, And I know it, because I have done it in a worst rocky road, worst than that dirty/dusty place shown on the video. So that "MallFinder" is not doing anything impressive. Actually, that 4x4i system they are using, has been in use since years ago on Non-US Market models like the Nissan XTrail and Qashqai, both simple crossovers. Google it!
I was driving earlier tonight in Fort Collins and i saw the 13' pathfinder and I commented to my girlfriend that that was the most god awful update ever, aesthetically only. Its truly a mom-mobile now with its rounded tail lights and head lights. The older pathfinders really where a great masculine looking SUV wile the new one has really undergone a gender change. Its a shame the looks have changed for the worse because it appears its more capable than ever. keep the tech, fix the exterior.
This ain't a Pathfinder kids....
Its a 4wd van...
I did more serious offroading than this in my CL65 amg...
Lame and repetitive explanation of the AWD System without any new information being added. Felt like he was talking to babies who do not have a clue what AWD system means and how it works. The hill didn't seem as steep either to warrant the need for a 4x4 lock. Anyways good video overall but just get to the point and demonstrate it as clearly and quickly as possible once. It's not your fault Roman and Nathan. You guys did great.

they should've..
это уже не PathFender, а скорее DriveWayFinder, ничего от старого pathfinder не осталось, а платформа от Murano
nissan pavementfinder
They should call it the Nissan Mallfinder. I'd gladly pick up a demo 2012 before even looking at this craptastic soccer mommy vehicle.
nissan made the 2013 pathfinder is girly.
Nissan has really lost their touch. The pathfinder has now become a totally different vehicle. I understand change is needed sometimes, but a CVT should not be in this vehicle. Bad enough theyve stuck it in the Maxima. I hope thy realised that the CVT doesn't work for everything.
Better buy the last version of the Pathfinder before they are all snagged up.
Lies the new jeep SUV s get 31 mpg
oh lol mallfinder.
its a rolling purse haha
The PATHFINDER is now a soft-road Cute-Ute? That is not worthy of the "Pathfinder" name. Don't get me wrong, this is a fine "Car"... but it's no Pathfinder.
My fwd could run that course. Lame!
Nissan attracting women buyers!
No you.
CHANGE GEARS SEQUENTIAL? NO ¬¬
It is NOT a SUV, Its a minivan with a normal hood, Get over it.
dat ass sagg!
really another heavy station wagon is needed? if you do not want the off road capability, don t buy a taller heavier station wagon, the mileage is worst, the tires more expensive, they are less safe and handling wise.... let s not talk about that!! what s the purpose of a car which is both rubbish on and off road? really what does make anyone choose an explorer, a durango, a pathfinder, a bmw x1.2.3.4.5.6.7.., a auqi q5/7, rr evoque...status quo? buy a car or an off roader, you can t have both
This whole "Mallfinder" shit is getting old, none of you were going to buy it anyways so why are you all mad. The new Pathfinder is outselling the old one by a massive margin, why have an SUV no one buys when you can have one people actually want and as a result buy.
2.3in of ground clearance with that front chin spoiler; useless, cant even drive over a curb
Major downgrade, in my opinion they shouldn't call it a pathfinder. It isn't a truck anymore, it is an awd (fwd) minivan... hate it!
Once again, this is the pussyfication of a great Off Roader! Please, change that name, no more Pathfinder. One thing is a car like the Santa Fe or the Rav4, both models that have always been CROSSOVERS SUVs with optional AWD, and another thing is what Nissan and Ford did with their SUVs (Pathfinder and Explorer, respectively). They change their SUVs from gender and brag about a Terrain Management System that is a total failure!! At least we still have Land Cruisers and Wranglers Unlimited!
Вообще неясно что за авто. Толи мурано растянут или тойота хайландер... Чемто и на лексус рх похож... Совсем не тот патфик
Nissan has lost almost all my respect. Used to be a huge fan but the crap they pump out nowadays is just ridiculous. They used to have cars that performed and looked great at the right price and now they have none of that, boo.
Who cares...4runner is a better SUV anyway. Get it while you still can before they turn it into a crossover lol
Unibody? Meh.
Dear nissan, NO. k?, bye.
great another minivan masquerading as a suv.
For the money? 2014 grand cherokee 100% better buy
Ooh, no! Looks more of an x-trail..it had lost the originality, the traction and the real taste of a pathfinder!!🤢🤢🤢
Looks like they castrated the Pathfinder.
Ewww white interior
car looks stupid.
